The Farmers' Market offers fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey, plants, orchids, nuts, and bread. It is operated by the nonprofit Fullerton Certified Farmers' Market Board.
The Fullerton Certified Farmers' Market, believed to be the oldest farmers’ market in Orange County, is renowned for the freshness of its produce and its wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and plants – many of which cannot be found at local supermarkets. The vendors/farmers make the trek weekly to Fullerton from as far away as Brawley to the south and Fresno to the north, and many have established friendships with their long-time customers.
History: In August 1981, the Farmers' Market opened at the old Ford School property (now Ford Park) at the intersection of Wilshire and Richman avenues. Three years later, as the Market grew in size and popularity, it was moved to Woodcrest Park. The Market remained at Woodcrest Park from 1984 through 2007 when growth again precipitated a relocation to Independence Park. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Market was temporarily relocated to the Fullerton Public Library's parking lot with the understanding that when the Library reopened fully the Market would have a new home at the Fullerton Community Center. On July 7, 2021, the Market has moved across Commonwealth Avenue to its new home at the Fullerton Community Center.
